One piece of a 2 cm copper plate (manufactured by Rare Metallic Co., Ltd.) was simultaneously immersed for 300 minutes. In the etching, 100 μL of each of the predetermined time (30, 60, 180, and 300 minutes) was sampled for metal content analysis and 100 μL was used for hydrogen peroxide analysis.

取樣作為金屬含量分析用的各蝕刻劑,係用1%硝酸水溶液稀釋100倍,用電漿發光分光分析裝置(裝置名稱:ICP-AES SPS-3100;SII公司製)測定金屬鈦及金屬銅的含量。從測定的含量的結果,算出鈦板與銅板的每單位面積的金屬鈦及金屬銅的溶解量以及鈦及銅的蝕刻速度。其結 果表示於表2。 Each of the etchants for the analysis of the metal content was diluted 100 times with a 1% aqueous solution of nitric acid, and the titanium metal and the metal copper were measured by a plasma emission spectroscopic analyzer (device name: ICP-AES SPS-3100; manufactured by SII). content. From the results of the measured contents, the amount of dissolution of titanium metal and metallic copper per unit area of the titanium plate and the copper plate, and the etching rate of titanium and copper were calculated. Its knot The results are shown in Table 2.

而且,取樣作為過氧化氫分析用的各蝕刻劑,係用0.5N的硫酸水溶液定容為10mL,藉由0.02莫耳/升的過錳酸鉀之氧化還原滴定法算出過氧化氫的含量。其結果表示於表3。 Further, each of the etchants for hydrogen peroxide analysis was sampled to a volume of 10 mL with a 0.5 N aqueous sulfuric acid solution, and the content of hydrogen peroxide was calculated by a redox titration method of 0.02 mol/liter potassium permanganate. The results are shown in Table 3.

再者,該等實驗例,係分別將1片的鈦板及銅板持續浸漬最長300分鐘的實驗,惟本實驗例,係假設為於實際使用蝕刻劑時連續浸漬複數片的半導體基板的方法之示範實驗,為蝕刻複數片的半導體基板最長300分鐘,以比較連續使用相同的蝕刻劑的情況之蝕刻速度與過氧化氫的分解率者。 Furthermore, in these experimental examples, one piece of the titanium plate and the copper plate were continuously immersed for an experiment for up to 300 minutes, but this experimental example is assumed to be a method of continuously immersing a plurality of semiconductor substrates in the actual use of an etchant. The demonstration experiment is to etch a plurality of semiconductor substrates for a maximum of 300 minutes to compare the etching rate of the same etchant continuously with the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide.

由實驗例1至3的結果,得知本發明的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑1)不只是Ti/Cu的溶解速度比高,從開始蝕刻到300分鐘後的過氧化氫的分解率,與其他蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑2及3)相比,最低為14.8%,而得知最能抑制過氧化氫的分解(實驗例1)。相對於此,得知比較例1的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑2),雖與本發明的蝕刻劑具有相同程度的Ti/Cu的溶解速度比,惟過氧化氫的分解率非常高,從開始蝕刻到300分鐘後,過氧化氫接近7成分解(實驗例2)。而且,得知比較例2的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑3)之Ti/Cu的溶解速度比雖比本發明的蝕刻劑高,惟過氧化氫的分解率高,從開始蝕刻到300分鐘後,過氧化氫接近5成分解(實驗例3)。從實驗例1至3的銅蝕刻速度的結果來看,於任一情況下,從銅板有 溶出銅(氧化銅)者係以本發明的蝕刻劑所致之蝕刻之從銅板之銅(氧化銅)的溶出量最多。不過,因為本發明的蝕刻劑最能抑制過氧化氫的分解,所以認為本發明的螫合劑之構造中具有氮原子的膦酸系螫合劑對銅(氧化銅)具有最高的螫合能力,而藉由螫合銅(氧化銅)抑制(防止)過氧化氫的分解。 From the results of Experimental Examples 1 to 3, it was found that the etchant (etchant 1) of the present invention is not only a high dissolution rate ratio of Ti/Cu, but also a decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide from the start of etching to 300 minutes, and other etching. The lowest ratio of the agent (etching agents 2 and 3) was 14.8%, and it was found that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was most suppressed (Experimental Example 1). On the other hand, the etchant (etching agent 2) of Comparative Example 1 was found to have a Ti/Cu dissolution rate ratio similar to that of the etchant of the present invention, but the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide was very high, and etching was started. After 300 minutes, hydrogen peroxide was decomposed by nearly 70% (Experimental Example 2). Further, it was found that the etching rate of Ti/Cu of the etchant (etching agent 3) of Comparative Example 2 was higher than that of the etchant of the present invention, but the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide was high, from the start of etching to 300 minutes. Hydrogen peroxide was nearly 50% decomposed (Experimental Example 3). From the results of the copper etching speeds of Experimental Examples 1 to 3, in either case, there is The copper (copper oxide) eluted by the etchant of the present invention has the largest amount of eluted copper (copper oxide) from the copper plate. However, since the etchant of the present invention most inhibits the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, it is considered that the phosphonic acid-based chelating agent having a nitrogen atom in the structure of the chelating agent of the present invention has the highest affinity for copper (copper oxide), and The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is suppressed (prevented) by copper (copper oxide).

而且,取樣作為過氧化氫分析用的蝕刻劑,係用0.5N的硫酸水溶液定容為10mL,藉由0.02莫耳/升的過錳酸鉀之氧化還原滴定法算出過氧化氫的含量。其結果與實驗例1的結果合併表示於表9。 Further, sampling was carried out as an etchant for hydrogen peroxide analysis, and the volume was adjusted to 10 mL with a 0.5 N aqueous sulfuric acid solution, and the content of hydrogen peroxide was calculated by a redox titration method of 0.02 mol/liter potassium permanganate.

In order to etch a plurality of semiconductor substrates for a maximum of 300 minutes, the etching rate and the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide in the case of continuously using the same etchant are compared.

實驗例9的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑9),本發明的螫合 劑之二伸乙基三胺五(亞甲基膦酸)的含量與實驗例8的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑8)相比,係少0.3重量%,為1.5重量%,確認到從銅板的銅(氧化銅)的溶出量對過氧化氫的分解帶來何種程度的影響。由實驗例1及9的結果得知,與含有傳統習知的銅抗蝕劑之苯并***之蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑9)相比,本發明的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑1)所致之蝕刻,從銅板之銅(氧化銅)的總溶出量變多。實驗例1的本發明的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑1)與實驗例9的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑9),由於只有銅抗蝕劑不同,故單就銅抗蝕劑的抗蝕效果的觀點而言,實驗例9的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑9)所致之蝕刻,因從銅板之銅(氧化銅)的溶出量少,應可抑制過氧化氫的分解。但是,由表9的結果得知,相反地,與實驗例1的本發明的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑1)相比,實驗例9的蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑9)係得到過氧化氫的分解大約以2倍速度進行的結果。詳細狀況雖不確定,惟提示苯并***對過氧化氫有不良的影響,並不表示若是抑制源自金屬銅或銅合金之銅(氧化銅)的溶出,即可抑制過氧化氫的分解。而且,由比較例8及9的結果得知,含有傳統習知的螫合劑之伸乙基二胺之蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑10)以及含有乙醇胺之蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑11)中,該等螫合劑會與過氧化氫反應,導致得到過氧化氫急速分解的結果。由該等結果,可知:銅抗蝕劑並非只要是可抑制源自金屬銅或銅合金之銅(氧化銅)的溶出者皆可,而需為對過氧化氫不帶來不良影響,可有效地抑制源自金屬銅或銅合金之銅(氧化銅)的溶出者,而且,螫合劑並非只要是可補充(螫合)銅(氧化銅)者皆可,而 需為對過氧化氫不帶來不良影響、可有效地補充(螫合)銅(氧化銅)者。由於以上原因,為了抑制過氧化氫的分解且選擇性地蝕刻Ti系金屬,需選擇檸檬酸等本發明的有機酸作為銅抗蝕劑,需選擇構造中具有氮原子的膦酸系螫合劑作為螫合劑。 Etching agent (etching agent 9) of Experimental Example 9, the combination of the present invention The content of the diethyltriamine penta (methylene phosphonic acid) of the agent was 0.3% by weight less than that of the etchant (etching agent 8) of Experimental Example 8, and was 1.5% by weight, and copper from the copper plate was confirmed. The extent to which the amount of (copper oxide) is dissolved affects the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. From the results of Experimental Examples 1 and 9, it was found that the etchant (etchant 1) of the present invention was caused by an etchant (etchant 9) containing a conventional conventional copper resist benzotriazole. Etching, the total amount of copper (copper oxide) from the copper plate is increased. The etchant (etchant 1) of the present invention in Experimental Example 1 and the etchant (etchant 9) of Experimental Example 9 differ only in terms of the corrosion resistance of the copper resist because only the copper resist is different. In the etching by the etchant (etching agent 9) of Experimental Example 9, the amount of elution of copper (copper oxide) from the copper plate was small, and decomposition of hydrogen peroxide should be suppressed. However, as is apparent from the results of Table 9, on the contrary, the etchant (etching agent 9) of Experimental Example 9 was decomposed by hydrogen peroxide in comparison with the etchant (etching agent 1) of the present invention of Experimental Example 1. Results at 2x speed. Although the detailed situation is uncertain, it suggests that benzotriazole has a bad influence on hydrogen peroxide. It does not mean that the inhibition of hydrogen peroxide decomposition can be inhibited by inhibiting the dissolution of copper (copper oxide) derived from metallic copper or copper alloy. . Further, from the results of Comparative Examples 8 and 9, it was found that the etchant (etching agent 10) containing the conventionally known chelating agent, and the etchant (etching agent 11) containing ethanolamine, The mixture will react with hydrogen peroxide, resulting in a rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. From these results, it is understood that the copper resist is not limited as long as it can suppress copper (copper oxide) derived from metallic copper or a copper alloy, and it is effective for not adversely affecting hydrogen peroxide. To suppress the dissolution of copper (copper oxide) derived from metallic copper or copper alloy, and the chelating agent is not limited to copper (copper oxide). Those who do not adversely affect hydrogen peroxide and can effectively replenish (combined) copper (copper oxide). For the above reasons, in order to suppress the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and selectively etch the Ti-based metal, it is necessary to select an organic acid of the present invention such as citric acid as a copper resist, and it is necessary to select a phosphonic acid-based chelating agent having a nitrogen atom in the structure. Mixing agent.

One piece of a 2 cm copper plate (manufactured by Rare Metallic Co., Ltd.) was simultaneously immersed for 300 minutes. In the etching, 100 μL of each of the predetermined time (30, 60, 180, and 300 minutes) was sampled for metal content analysis and 100 μL was used for hydrogen peroxide analysis.

取樣作為金屬含量分析用的各蝕刻劑,係用1%硝酸水溶液稀釋100倍,用電漿發光分光分析裝置(裝置名稱:ICP-AES SPS-3100;SII公司製)測定金屬鈦及金屬銅的含量。從測定的含量的結果,算出鈦板與銅板的每單位面積 的金屬鈦及金屬銅的溶解量以及鈦及銅的蝕刻速度。其結果表示於表17。 Each of the etchants for the analysis of the metal content was diluted 100 times with a 1% aqueous solution of nitric acid, and the titanium metal and the metal copper were measured by a plasma emission spectroscopic analyzer (device name: ICP-AES SPS-3100; manufactured by SII). content. Calculate the area per unit area of the titanium plate and the copper plate from the measured content The amount of metal titanium and copper metal dissolved and the etching rate of titanium and copper.

And the case where the area of the copper plate is doubled. In this experimental example, it was confirmed that the decomposition inhibitory effect of hydrogen peroxide due to the difference in the chelating agent was different in an exemplary experiment under the harsh conditions when the etchant was actually used.

由實驗例17至19的結果得知,本發明的螫合劑中,就過氧化氫的分解抑制效果之點而言,係以含有二伸乙基三胺五(亞甲基膦酸)之蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑19)以及含有硝基參(亞甲基膦酸)之蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑21)較理想,以含有硝基參(亞甲基膦酸)之蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑21)最能抑制過氧化氫的分解。而且,由實驗例20的結果得知,含有構造中不具有氮原子的膦酸系螫合劑之蝕刻劑(蝕刻劑22),在長時間連續使用該蝕刻劑時,過氧化氫會急速分解,而難以長時間持續使用。 From the results of Experimental Examples 17 to 19, it is understood that the chelating agent of the present invention is etched with di-ethyltriamine penta (methylene phosphonic acid) in terms of the decomposition inhibiting effect of hydrogen peroxide. An etchant (etchant 21) and an etchant (etchant 21) containing nitrosole (methylene phosphonic acid) are preferred, and an etchant (etchant 21) containing nitrosole (methylene phosphonic acid) is most preferred. It can inhibit the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Further, as a result of Experimental Example 20, it was found that an etchant (etching agent 22) containing a phosphonic acid-based chelating agent having no nitrogen atom in the structure rapidly decomposes hydrogen peroxide when the etchant is continuously used for a long period of time. It is difficult to continue to use for a long time.

由以上的結果,只有組合(B)構造中具有氮原子的膦酸系螫合劑與(D)具有至少1個羥基及至少3個羧基的有機酸之本發明的蝕刻劑,不會降低Ti/Cu的溶解速度比,最能抑制(防止)過氧化氫的分解,得知結果係因為溶液壽命變長,而成為可長時間連續使用的蝕刻劑。而且得知,本發明的蝕刻劑因為具有適度的蝕刻速度,而成為蝕刻速度容易控制之蝕刻劑。 From the above results, only the phosphating agent of the present invention having a nitrogen atom-containing phosphonic acid-based chelating agent and (D) an organic acid having at least one hydroxyl group and at least three carboxyl groups in combination with the structure (B) does not lower Ti/ The dissolution rate ratio of Cu is the most effective to suppress (prevent) the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, and as a result, the etchant which can be continuously used for a long period of time is obtained because the life of the solution is prolonged.
